But there are a host of other plays including Harbaugh throwing his script of plays call that lead to fifteen yards and a and an imminent touchdown after the pass interference call of a ball that was uncatchable. Multiple false starts and holds and the grant Perry non call or the darboah call. There were too many miscalls and bad calls to give that last call a pass.

Charles Woodson is the X Factor there. He shut down one half of the field and then those that dared throw in his direction got picked off. As good as this defense is no one has proven to be that caliber of player yet. Although I think Jourdan Lewis is pretty effective.

It also is used as a tool to make other teams have to prepare to play against it. So if it is a fake punt, having Peppers on offense or a host of other things; once it is done then other teams have to prepare for it. Which takes them away from preparing on something else.

It would be extremely difficult to lay exclusive blame on coach when he had to deal with the injuries he's had to this year. When we talk about us having perspective then add that to the equation. Our best player was out for basically the whole year. That is a death blow in basketball terms. There is no other team sport where one player can make or break a season like basketball. The year we went to the finals if we didn't have Burke we probably make the first cut and not get out of the round of 32. And this can be in large part do to people not being ready to assume the mantle of leader. So yeah he gets a pass from me.

Calvin did what he did in less games than most of the people you have on your hall of fame list. Because he wasnt a vocal leader has nothing to do with how well he played his position. It was refreshing to see him not act flamboyantly like other receivers and still be as effective. If Megatron went to the middle so did three defenders. Most of the other receivers you have on that list had a Robin to their Batman as well. Calvin played most of his career being the first, second and third option. The man was as dominant if not more than most of the guys you have on that list above. And he did it with a less than average quarterback. An average quarterback. No viable running game and no legitimate number two receiver and inferior coaching. That man deserves the hall of fame.

Just think about what happened last year. Weber decided to go somewhere else because we took another running back in the class. His decision was last minute. Whose to say he wouldn't have sided with the dark side regardless and left us without a quality back in last years class. That would have been a disservice to the rest of the class. Listen, if Harbaugh isn't fighting to get the best players he can to play for this program and having a plan b and c when they decide to go elsewhere, then shame on him.

Ahhhhh.... where to start? Let me sum it up like this. I find the timing of the decommits troubling. But not that a school and a kid have parted ways. Harbaugh has every right to get the kids that best fit his program. The kids have every right to change their mind about a commitment they have made to a school. You make a mistake in assuming that an offer is a binding agreement. It isn't. It is a verbal commitment. The starting of a process that until a letter of intent is signed can be rescinded. I just would like for this to happen in a more timely fashion to give these kids the best opportunity to land somewhere they are most comfortable.

Big Ben left Detroit to play in Chicago. He bounced around for a bit and finally returned to Detroit. When he left, the success he had could not hardly compare to the heights he reached in Detroit. Rodman was Rodman no matter where he was. He was even an integral cog in the team that is considered among the best to lace them up. However, I take exception to that argument. But it is one to be had for a different day

Dennis was the next step. I remember looking at box scores and seeing the tally of rebounds he would get and just be in awe. And his ability to defend on and off the ball was something to see. Not to mention, how he would sacrifice his body for every loose ball that was in striking distance. It would be the worm. But to give some context to why your question has so much merit. Shaq does say that the ball player that gave him the most problems was Mr. Ben Wallace.

Our linebacker play was average at best this year. The dline covered a lot of that up. Then it got depleted. And it made the rest of the defense concern themselves with something other than their own personal assignments. Which in turn, led to missed assignments and lack of discipline with tackling and other fundamentals. It is akin to plugging your finger in a hole of a boat to keep it from sinking. That's what the offense did for a few games. But we all know eventually there is going to be another hole and then another until there are no more fingers to plug them. That was Ohio state.

Joe Dumars did the same thing with the Bulls. He shook their hands and passed out congratulatory hugs. So there is no difference. In an interview James Worthy even said that the Celtics played like the bad boys. The Pistons learned how to win by watching the ones who kept beating them. Now as far as Lebron and Michael. For me there is no comparison. Michael all the way. He cut his teeth on the best competition the NBA has ever had to offer. At least 10 teams coming out of the 80's and early 90's would absolutely demolish this Golden State team and would beat Lebron's team as well. Michael would not have lost to that Dallas team that beat the Lebron led Miami nor the Spurs team. The bottom line is the competition level is sub par now to then so it is hard to give an accurate assessment. But Mike kept some of the greatest players to ever play the game from getting rings simply because he was playing at the same time they were. Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, John Stockton, Charles Barkley. At least one or two of those players would have multiple rings in this era of basketball. Trust and believe that.

Scout has an article up saying that Chris Clark talked with him. Chris said he was surprised to hear from him seeing as Kentucky had not been recruiting him. After the conversation he (Clark) was left with the impression that he was joining our staff. In fact, he mentioned that we were an outstanding school. It is up to read now. Free side of the website too.

He was Harbaugh's offensive coordinator at San Diego. So he does have some experience at running the offensive, more importantly Harbaugh knows his experience in running the offense. So I am comfortable with the hire.

If you google him. (Sorry to lazy to post link) but in like September he wrote a piece for fox news talking g about geeks Harbaugh was for Michigan and how he wanted to right the ship. I sorta think that is who Gregg got his insider info from. Can't say that for sure. It is pure speculation. But a lot of the takes sounded a lot like that article.

His comment about tripping is something similar to what Bo said when he was hit by a wide receiver during practice. Bo was wiped out by a collision with one of his players and everyone on the practice field stopped what they were doing and went over to see about their coach. Bo got up and looked at everyone like he was surprised by their concern and then Bo gave them this classic line, "What?...That would have killed a normal man."
